I’ve been voting for democrats my whole life, 1980 was my first election and I haven’t missed one since. I am a a life long Christian also, although many of the evangelical bent may not consider an Episcopalian a Christian. 😎

Agreed. I am a cradle Methodist, as they say, but far more than that label, my personal faith in snd relationship with Jesus Christ defines my “religion.” I am a native northerner but when I lived in the deep south I was teased about belonging to the “Heathen Denomination.” So what. I am a committed Christian and a committed Democrat. Those two things align perfectly, imho.

The recent split in the United Methodist Church over mainly LGBTQ+ and female ministers was the last straw got me. I don’t want anything to do with organized religion in my life.

I agree- especially since I have a trans child. But organized religion does nothing to diminish my personal faith. The real United Methodists who remain seem to understand Christ’s true message. Those who shucked off in their narrow-mindedness can go on their way to irrelevance.

From personal experience, I’ve learned most Episcopalians are far more Loving and accepting in the way Jesus taught, than any of the “evangelistic, legalistic, fervid, religiosity, Bible thumpers, who are crazed supporters of hypocritical Trump, who is the anthesis of any qualities Jesus lived and taught. They are so blind to truth that Trump is the embodiment of the anti-Christ, if there ever has been. “Sly, slick, speaking with a forked tongue” to use biblical language, they’re taken in as Jesus warned.

My heart aches with compassion, and sadness they are so deceived, also angry and deep concerned as everyone in our country and beyond will pay for their misguided naïveté if enough of them don’t wake up.
